RECITALS
1. The Aspen City Council, the Pitkin County Board of County Commissioners and
the Town Council of Snowmass Village (the •"Parties") have previously identified general
elements of their Comprehensive Valley Transportation Plan (the "Plan") which are eligible for
funding from the Pitkin County one-half cent transit sales and use tax.
2. By intergovernmental agreement dated September 14, 1993, the Parties agreed:
a. to conduct regular public meetings to continue to refine and agree upon
proposed projects and transportation elements consistent with or complimentary to
the Plan; and
b. that all expenditures and projects to be funded from the County -wide one-
half cent transit sales and use tax shall be agreed upon by the Parties and
evidenced by a resolution adopted by the governing body of each party.
3. In November of 1993 Pitkin County voters authorized the issuance of up to
$13,650,000 of revenue bonds for the purpose of improving the public mass transportation
system in the Roaring Fork Valley (the "Revenue Bond Authorization") if such improvements
are authorized by agreement between the Parties.
4. At a public meeting held on May '20, 1999, the Parties considered and approved
supplemental funding in the amount of $1,624,519 for the transit -related elements of the Maroon
Creek Roundabout construction project from the Pitkin County 1/2 cent transit sales and use tax
fund under the condition that in the event Pitkin County receives reimbursement from CDOT for
this project, the 'h cent funding shall be reimbursed first and in full, then Pitkin County and
Aspen shall split any additional reimbursement.

understanding that upon the successful acquisition of the rail right-of-way in 1997, the one-half
cent use tax revenues became available for other transit projects on an equal footing with projects
funded by the one-half cent sales tax revenues.
